On the point about flying, I was so excited to see in the news that a Wellington councillor is considering bringing back the WGN-AKL sleeper train!

Also love the vibrant discussion on the Reddit about it:

"Personally I think it'd make some sense for Air New Zealand to consider investing in it. They could treat it as an alternative and more carbon-friendly way of shifting passengers who prefer to go from one CBD to the other, and who don't care as much about speed as long as they can sleep through it and avoid a night of accommodation elsewhere."

"On top of that it creates more viable commutes from any town where it stops along the way. That brings opportunity and growth to more places and also spreads out the burden of where more homes can go, and puts downwards pressure on living costs."
